First of all, I heartily approve of the new thread. I was waiting for someone to open a 3D thread and got tired of waiting.
Second, great job filling the thread with these great pix. I don't have a Mlle but I did take the quiz and thought it was on point. At least for me. We need to give Smokie a cheat sheet, lol.

I got bohemian as well! So for those who have the bag, I keep hearing mixed reviews on how hard it is to get into the bag with the push button lock closure. Talk to me. Is the griping overblown, or do you love the bag in spite of the challenges of getting into and out of it?
I was nervous about the clasp issue and at first fumbled with it but honestly I quickly grew accustomed to it. It’s especially easy when worn crossbody (you have two hands free to work it if needed). And remember there’s a back pocket for fast access to one or two things like phone or metro/subway pass.
Of course everyone’s tolerance is different and ideally you can try it out IRL. Longchamp has been using the same clasp on the Heritage bags for several years so apparently it’s not a dealbreaker in the marketplace.
I don't find the push button lock closure challenging but I did have plenty of practice before getting the Mademoiselle as I also have a Heritage Crossbody which has the same closure.
For me, the challenge is managing my fingernails - I scratched the front pocket with my fingernail one day while I was about to go out to lunch. Maybe I was in a hurry. The scratch still bothers me after many months.
I find the closure to be a total PITA, TBH. I don’t have a bag from the Heritage line, but have tried them on in the store and find those a little easier because the leather is stiffer. There is something about the softer leather of the Mademoiselle that makes the clasp difficult, at least for me. I do love the bag — the leather is wonderful, the quality is excellent, and I love the look and the fact that there are multiple carry options — but if it didn’t have that back pocket to make accessing my phone easier, I wouldn’t own one. Sorry, JMHO.
No reason whatsoever to apologize. Several members have posted that they ordered the bag but then they never came on again to post about it so presumably they were returned.
Hopefully you’ll still post pics of your Mademoiselle?

Of course! I do really like this bag, which is why I find the clasp so maddening. I’d buy another one if the decision was based solely on quality and aesthetics. But the clasp makes me hesitate. Here are pics of my cognac Mademoiselle.
That cognac color is so rich and gorgeous! I'm sorry you find the clasp frustrating.
On the other hand, I've recently decided that I'm taking my gray Mademoiselle with me on an overseas trip in a few months, that's how trouble free I find it.
If you follow the IG of the Marketing Director of LC-USA, you can see her carrying her Grey Mlle with her on her trips to Europe all last yr.
Those types of mechanisms don't agree with me, which is why I havent gotten a Mlle but I still like looking at it and I like this thread.

Thanks for the suggestion, I just found her IG.
Enjoy, my friend.
goldengirl_07 is another one to follow while I am at it. Her LC collex is amazing. And huge!

Yes I follow her, and some of the LC execs/employees in France, but I'm less familiar with the LC USA folks...
Most of the ones I have seen are either private and/or don't advertise that they work for LC.
